Chapter 1350: Extremely Dangerous
"Two locals, Comrade 'Дpakoh', the number sounds small.
But I think, I need to remind you that the Commission's intelligence agencies in Myanmar are already very difficult to function, and this is not a dispensable loss for us. ”
"Well, I understand, please continue."
Long Yun was not very familiar with the affairs of the intelligence front, and what he urgently needed now was first-hand information and guidance from experienced people, so he raised his hand to signal to Ivanov.
According to Long Yun's meaning, he followed the train of thought and kept narrating, and Semyon Ivanov quickly got to the core.
According to Ivanov, in the recent past, or four weeks to be precise, the KGB has basically figured out the smuggling activities involving the "black jade" and has also obtained some valuable information.
First, for the "black jade" itself, after KGB's investigation, the local documents and cultural memories in Myanmar are very vague, and the preliminary speculation of analysts is that this kind of thing has only recently been discovered in Myanmar, because after looking through various records, there is no clue to the "black jade" earlier than the 1980s; Second, with regard to the whereabouts of the "black jade," it was determined that the CIA was the behind-the-scenes commander of the smuggling activities, and that the US agents purchased it there and then transported it out of the country through a secret channel, and this link seems to be related to the US warships active in Southeast Asia.
In addition, for such things as "black jade", it is probably limited by the secrecy level of Semyon Ivanov's team, and it is not known that this black and dark translucent substance is "energy medium". The agent also gave some analysis reports. It mentions that "the motives of the Americans for collecting 'black jade' are suspicious".
Because it's obvious. Although it is called "black jade", the quality and processing characteristics of this thing cannot be used as a jade or gemstone, that is, it has little economic value.
Long Yun nodded his satisfaction with the progress of the KGB's work, and the next thing he asked was the key point, whether the agents had found the source of these "black jade", and if so, then he would probably have to go to Myanmar next. In-person site visits are the only way to get more information.
To the question of "Дpakoh", Ivanov gave an affirmative answer:
"Yes, if in a 'sense' we have roughly determined the place of origin of 'black jade'.
In other words, comrade, you understand that the 'black jade' thing is like a superficial mineral, and the place where this thing is stored is probably in the Baodewen mining area, and a large area around it is sporadically distributed; However, according to the intelligence summary, it seems that the 'black jade' collected by the Americans is not all accidental discoveries by locals, so our people are tracking the members of the CIA team. A suspicious location was also found. ”
"Found the place where 'black jade' is produced?
That's good, but, comrade agent. You just said in a 'sense', but ...... do you mean that? ”
Semyon Ivanov's statement sounds quite coherent, but Long Yun also paid special attention to one point in addition to his analytical thinking, as a KGB officer, Ivanov's "sense" is a bit vague, which is not a rigorous style of expression.
Could it be that there is something hidden in this?
Faced with Comrade Lieutenant General's question, the detective nodded, and took out a stack of Wen Jiàn from Wen Jiàn's bag:
"Yes, the origin of 'дpakoh', 'black jade', our people have now basically determined, at least located a general area," Ivanov took out a map from Wen Jiàn and pointed it in front of the lieutenant general, "As you can see, the red pen here circles the area, which is frequented by local residents, mining teams and mineral merchants in Baodwin, which is also the local armed area of Shan State, in the northern mountains of this area. There should be a certain amount of 'black jade', but ......"
"Bang bang bang
"The next explanation, in my opinion, is a bit 'bizarre', and I still don't believe it a little, but the professional level and loyalty of the intelligence officers at the front can be trusted, so I have not abridged these reports, and I directly printed them out, please take a look."
"Okay, I'll take a look first."
While talking to Ivanov, consciousness snooping is also playing a subtle role, and Long Yun is not defenseless against the conscientious KGB agent in front of him, he only vaguely feels that Semyon Ivanov's thoughts have a vague idea of "this is not scientific", and there is some inexplicable feeling in his heart.
I took the text and flipped through the pages, and the fine Russian in front of me quickly gave the young man some concepts, and unconsciously, his expression gradually became more solemn.
Myanmar, a mysterious country outside the mainstream world, is really related to "that incident"?
From the perspective of different people, the same information can convey very different messages.
Just as Long Yun reported in his hand, he first saw a record of the KGB intelligence organization's civilian visit to the Baodewen mining area, and the meticulous detectives did not know whether they took random visits or used any identity as a cover to investigate, in short, they sorted out and recorded the social conditions, customs, folklore, and even the few official archives left in the mining area and the surrounding areas.
The Baodewen mining area has long been controlled by the Shan state, and the people in the area are mixed, and various clans and enemy armed forces are intertwined.
After KGB's combing and analysis, what was presented to Viktor Rezenov was a little information related to "black jade".
Here, Long Yun saw a photocopy of the geological and hydrological data of the Baodwin area, these incomplete records seem to have been kept by the British colonists and the Japanese invading army, which mentioned the dangerous terrain around the mining area, especially to the north, the rough map on the photocopy, marked several areas full of slashes, and the Japanese notes next to it were very vague, but fortunately, the detectives had given several possible interpretations, which roughly meant that these areas were "dangerous", and imperial civilians were forbidden Military and exploration teams entered.
This archival file, which appears to have survived during World War II, plus a "Rough Distribution Map of Mineral Resources in Baodwin" from the British colonial period, also marked with a large area filled with question marks, is north of Baodwin, the exact location is unknown due to the lack of scale, but it corroborates with the map of the Japanese occupation, and the two should refer to the same area.
First the British colonists, then the Japanese occupation forces, both forces marked this area on the map, Long Yun didn't think much about it, after all, for colonists and invaders, there can be many motives for doing so.
Maybe it's to protect high-value mineral deposits, or maybe there's some secret military facility there, of course, it's also possible that it's really related to "black jade" - thinking of this, Long Yun shook his head slightly, he remembered that Semyon Ivanov just said that KGB knew about it, and that "black jade" had only appeared in Myanmar for one or twenty years, so it stands to reason that the Japanese in the World War II era, and even the British earlier, these guys should not have discovered the "Noh Medium". Otherwise, such a mysterious black crystal-like substance would surely arouse curiosity and leak news, wouldn't it?
Of course, this is only a speculation, and it is possible if someone has discovered a "Noh medium" in Myanmar but for some reason it is not known to the world.
After reviewing the two documents, he looked up at Ivanov on the sofa, and the two looked at each other, and the latter bowed slightly.
After receiving an affirmative reply from the agent, Long Yun continued to look down.
Behind these materials, there were some scribbled but easily legible handwritten records in English, which were quite fluent, but Long Yun could see that they seemed to be the handwriting of KGB agents, perhaps in order to avoid revealing their identities, and they chose to write in English.
The handwriting is quite neat, and the writing is quite smooth, but the things mentioned in these records made Long Yun feel a little nonsense at first.
KGB's intelligence work, speaking of which, is really all-encompassing and all-encompassing, and looking at what the detectives have written down, isn't this just some mythological stories that some Eastern countries will have more or less in them, or some horror and thriller legends mixed with primitive religion and superstition?
In the rigorous intelligence materials, there is a "mythical story", which is really a bit funny.
However, compared with the apparent sense of disobedience, Long Yun skimmed it and knew the intention of the KGB, which was not because the agents were idle and idle, but because of some long-term rumors that had been circulating in Bao Dewen and even the entire Shan State-controlled zhì area, including the mention of a large area of steep mountains in the north.
In that mist-shrouded, mysterious and precipitous place almost all year round, the local legends of Myanmar passed down by word of mouth include many nonsense about demons, beasts, gods and evil ghosts, but many rumors point to one conclusion, that is, "the northern mountains are dangerous and abnormal, and can devour pedestrians and beasts, and must not trespass" -- what is the reason for this statement, which coincides with the marks on the previous two photocopies?
His eyes swept over the account of "extremely_dangerous", but inadvertently, Long Yun suddenly thought of the terrifying "dead city", he licked his lips and opened his mouth to ask Ivanov for confirmation, and the latter confirmed that the reason for these accounts of income was not far from his speculation.
